The sun is out in Stuttgart, and a week of creating dialogue around the topic of trends in the creative industry is soon coming to an end. This week’s reading list gives insight into what a brutalist world would look like, a revolutionary approach to building user interfaces, and a brief look back into the internet stone age.

The UX designer, Pierre Buttin, explores various styles of brutalism in his project Brutalist redesigns where he gives popular apps like Spotify, Google, or WhatsApp, a brutal makeover.

Tony Beltramelli, the founder of Copenhagen-based startup UIzard Technologies, has created an app that rethinks the way software-based solutions are build. pix2code starts to automatically generate code once fed with raw screenshots of graphical user interfaces, letting you code less and create more.

The Web Design Museum covers inspiring visual aesthetics gathered from more than 286 billion websites, dated all the way back to 1996. Discover forgotten trends and draw inspiration into your current work by getting insight into past trends in web design.

Lastly, Dandy Diary talks to the founder of the biannual fashion and culture magazine 032c, Joerg Koch, on his new job at Canadian online store SSENSE, his close collaboration with Gosha Rubchinskiy, and the fashion capital Berlin.
